What You’ll Need
Saxon’s wardrobe in The White Lotus leans directly into high-end, breezy resort fashion. The look revolves around sun-washed blues, relaxed tailoring, and a polished vacationer aesthetic that appears effortless.
Recreating this costume centers on lightweight layering: an airy blue striped shirt worn unbuttoned over a fitted blue polo, paired with tailored khaki shorts, slip-on sandals, and dark sunglasses. Nailing the look comes down to dialling in proportions and choosing breathable fabrics.
Layering the Shirts
The upper half of the outfit relies on a tone-on-tone blue combination. Wearing an open button-down over a collared polo creates an unmistakable resort silhouette. The outer Blue Striped Shirt should have a relaxed, casual cut with an open collar, allowing the sleeves to be pushed or cuffed up past the forearms.
Underneath, the Blue Polo fits closer to the torso in a solid shade of blue that complements rather than competes with the stripes. Leaving the top buttons undone at the throat keeps the neckline open and comfortable. Cotton piqué or linen-blend fabrics are ideal here to prevent overheating while wearing two collared garments together.
Shorts and Proportions
For the bottom half, flat-front Khaki Shorts with a clean hem ground the bright blue top layers. Aim for a hemline that falls an inch or two above the knee; loose cargo shorts or knee-grazing boardshorts will distort the trim resort proportions.
A classic chino-style twill works best. You can wear them cleanly without a belt, or add a simple woven leather belt if the waistband needs support. Keeping the waistline unencumbered fits the character’s relaxed holiday setting.
Footwear and Sunglasses
Footwear stays minimal with open-toe Sandals. Simple leather or matte synthetic slides in brown or black fit right into the luxury hotel environment. They should look suited for walking between a private suite and the pool deck, so skip chunky technical hiking sandals.
Finish the look with dark, rectangular or square-frame Sunglasses. Tinted dark lenses capture that detached, sun-drenched demeanor without requiring any makeup or extra accessories. For hair styling, work a small amount of texturizing paste or sea-salt spray through dry hair to get a natural, windblown texture.
